Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 9 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Remote Code Execution - **Selected version:** 40.1.0 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Source inspection found a reachable callback that executes a command containing request input and redirects a JWT to a request-supplied destination. The CLI is user-invoked, so this is an unresolved conditional risk rather than evidence of install-time malware. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-10T22:48:49.430Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-10T22:49:28.946Z - **Download time:** 260 ms - **Static scan time:** 30 ms - **AI review time:** 39226 ms - **Total time:** 39516 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The CLI exposes an HTTP callback listener and passes callback input to a shell command. Requests that reach the listener may trigger command injection and can redirect a JWT to a supplied URI. - **Trigger:** A user invokes the package CLI and a request reaches its callback listener. - **Impact:** A crafted callback request may execute shell commands or disclose the callback JWT to the redirect destination. - **Evidence paths:** src/cli.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-10T22:49:28.946Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The callback interpolates the npm token query value into an executed npm command and places the JWT query value in a redirect to a supplied URI. - **Rationale:** Source inspection found a reachable callback that executes a command containing request input and redirects a JWT to a request-supplied destination. The CLI is user-invoked, so this is an unresolved conditional risk rather than evidence of install-time malware. - **Files touched:** package.json, src/cli.ts ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The published CLI entrypoint starts a local HTTP callback listener when invoked., The callback inserts a request parameter into an npm configuration command executed by a shell, creating a command injection risk for requests that reach the listener., The callback redirects to a request-supplied URI and includes a JWT token in the redirect query. - **Evidence against:** The CLI is explicitly exposed as a command-line tool, and its npm token configuration and OAuth callback behavior appear intended for registry authentication. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to verdaccio-okta-oauth@40.1.0. - Review the evidence and your use of verdaccio-okta-oauth@40.1.0 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
